Jubilee Singers
Appear Here
Thursday Evening
To Present Lengthy Concert Under Sponsorship of the Rotary
Club at The High School
Auditorium
The North Canton Rotary club will
sponsor a Community concert in the
high school auditorium on Thursday
evening, April 27, the proceeds to go
to the uniform fund for the High
School Band uniforms at 7:45 p. m
The club has secured the services
of the Eureka Jubilee Singers of Chi
cago, one of the really fine groupB of
Negro singers touring the country today. There are seven musicians in
the group, and each one is a soloist
in, their own right, and all have trained voices.
The repertoire of the Eureka Singers is extensive, including all the best
in Negro music. One-half of their
program is given in Plantation costumes in a sketch called, "Plantation
Days," singing such old favorites as,
"Old Black Joe," "Kentucky Home,"
etc.
A few explanatory remarks as to
the origin of the" Negro music is introduced at the beginning of their
concert. Beautiful voices, excellent
showmanship, unusual blending, rare
harmonies, well selected numbers and
a highly developed perfection in ensemble work make. Eureka one of the
finest and most outstanding companies
of their type. With these beautifully
trained voices, the refinement of the
training has done nothing to mar the
vocal traits and timbre that is typical
of the Negro race. Programs are
varied in ensemble singing, quartettes,
trios, duos and solos. They are radio
artists, having been heard over "Wilson's Plantation Hour," WJJD, WCFL
also WLS.
The Cardinal, university paper for
the University of Wisconsin, has this
to say, "The Eureka Jubilee Singers
sang to a capacity auditorium with
unusual quality of tone and sparkling
deliveries and were forced to give
encore after encore. Each of the
group proved to be not only a trained
singer, but a capable actor as well."
The London Free Press, Ontario,
Canada, says, "The Eureka Jubilee
Singers won their way into favoi
with two capacity audiences. Theii
melodious, clear voices roll out in thc
swinging phrases of a Spiritual m
Plantation song. Their ensemble
singing has distinction'and'charm."
The Kiwanis Club of Chicago says,
"Twice the Eureka Jubilee Singers
have appeared before our Club festivities, scoring marvelous success each
time—having to render many encores.
They were a decided hit."
The program at the local high
school will be an hour and a half
long.

Present Bibles to
Plain Twp. Schools
Dedication At Reformed Church
Sunday Evening
Gideon services will be held in the
various churches of the Plain township and North Canton Sunday, April
30, with a Bible Dedication in the
Zion Reformed church Sunday evening at 7:30 p. m. with Gideons in
charge of the services. '-■'-'•■.
The Gideons have in the past placed
over one and a half million Bibles in
hotels, hospitals and other public institutions throughout the world including 35 foreign countries and have
recently undertaken the program to
place the Bible in public schools
throughout the United States and
Canada.
The demand for school bibles it-
taxing the organization beyond its
capacity at present, but increasing
support is being- given from time to
time by its membership of Christian
business men as well as private contributors who are in favor of the
work. Christian support to meet the
growing demand for pibles is needed
now whether it be through new members or contributions from those so
inclined.
Last week the Gideons supplied and
dedicated Bibles for the Canton township public schools. The over-w)ielm-
ing percentage of crimes committed
by the youth of today is clearly indicated by the fact that the average of
criminals has dropped from 48 years
in 1898 to 19 years in 1938 which requires us to place the word of God
into the hands of the youth of tha
nation today to supply the connecting link between education and
character.
In the larger cities the Gideons
maintain active organizations to serve
the needs in the surrounding territories.
The public is cordially invited to
attend any of the Sunday Services announced to learn how the organization functions and endeavors to supply the various Bible requirements.
A full program climaxing the Sunday services will be held in the Zion
Reformed church in North Canton
Sunday Evening, April 30, 1939. At
that time Bibles presented to Plain
township including North Canton
schools will be dedicated. The program for the township is as follows:
Warstler Lutheran Church—Middle-
branch, Ohio—Rev. C. L. Warstler,
10:30 a. m., C. L. Domer; Werner U.
B, Church—Middlebranch, Ohio—Rev.

Acme Celebrates
48th Anniversary
Largest Retail Food Taxpayer
in Summit County
The Acme store, under the management of James Archer, is celebrating
the forty-eighth anniversary of the
founding of the Acme stores.
The first store in this organization
was founded in Akron. Through honest dealing and intensive merchandising, the company gradually expanded
until today Acme stores are to be
found in all of the surrounding communities. ,
Acme stores is purely a local organization. The stock is owned by employees, executives and customers.
Recently, these stores have gained
national recognition with their cooperation with growers and producers of
agricultural products. Acme stores,
whenever possible, purchase direct
from the local farmer and poultry
man. They also have cooperated in
eliminating the surplus of oranges,
grapefruit, apples, dairy products,
eggs and California peaches.
'We never want to grow so large
that we cannot keep in close touch
with the communities in which we
operate," said H. J. Albrecht, president and I. W. Albrecht, vice presi
dent, of the Acme stores.
"I certainly enjoy visiting our store
in North Canton," says Fred C. Pockrandt, secretary. "There is a certain
neighborliness in North Canton which
is entirely non-existent in larger
cities. This enables us to better serve
the housewives in North Canton."
Acme stores have always 4S'sumed
their share of civic responsibilities in
every county in which they .have
stores. They are the largest retail
food taxpayer in Summit county; and
in our own county they pay a considerable sum.

in, their own right, and all have trained voices.
The repertoire of the Eureka Singers is extensive, including all the best
in Negro music. One-half of their
program is given in Plantation costumes in a sketch called, "Plantation
Days," singing such old favorites as,
"Old Black Joe," "Kentucky Home,"
etc.
A few explanatory remarks as to
the origin of the" Negro music is introduced at the beginning of their
concert. Beautiful voices, excellent
showmanship, unusual blending, rare
harmonies, well selected numbers and
a highly developed perfection in ensemble work make. Eureka one of the
finest and most outstanding companies
of their type. With these beautifully
trained voices, the refinement of the
training has done nothing to mar the
vocal traits and timbre that is typical
of the Negro race. Programs are
varied in ensemble singing, quartettes,
trios, duos and solos. They are radio
artists, having been heard over "Wilson's Plantation Hour," WJJD, WCFL
also WLS.
The Cardinal, university paper for
the University of Wisconsin, has this
to say, "The Eureka Jubilee Singers
sang to a capacity auditorium with
unusual quality of tone and sparkling
deliveries and were forced to give
encore after encore. Each of the
group proved to be not only a trained
singer, but a capable actor as well."
The London Free Press, Ontario,
Canada, says, "The Eureka Jubilee
Singers won their way into favoi
with two capacity audiences. Theii
melodious, clear voices roll out in thc
swinging phrases of a Spiritual m
Plantation song. Their ensemble
singing has distinction'and'charm."
The Kiwanis Club of Chicago says,
"Twice the Eureka Jubilee Singers
have appeared before our Club festivities, scoring marvelous success each
time—having to render many encores.
They were a decided hit."
The program at the local high
school will be an hour and a half
long.

Present Bibles to
Plain Twp. Schools
Dedication At Reformed Church
Sunday Evening
Gideon services will be held in the
various churches of the Plain township and North Canton Sunday, April
30, with a Bible Dedication in the
Zion Reformed church Sunday evening at 7:30 p. m. with Gideons in
charge of the services. '-■'-'•■.
The Gideons have in the past placed
over one and a half million Bibles in
hotels, hospitals and other public institutions throughout the world including 35 foreign countries and have
recently undertaken the program to
place the Bible in public schools
throughout the United States and
Canada.
The demand for school bibles it-
taxing the organization beyond its
capacity at present, but increasing
support is being- given from time to
time by its membership of Christian
business men as well as private contributors who are in favor of the
work. Christian support to meet the
growing demand for pibles is needed
now whether it be through new members or contributions from those so
inclined.
Last week the Gideons supplied and
dedicated Bibles for the Canton township public schools. The over-w)ielm-
ing percentage of crimes committed
by the youth of today is clearly indicated by the fact that the average of
criminals has dropped from 48 years
in 1898 to 19 years in 1938 which requires us to place the word of God
into the hands of the youth of tha
nation today to supply the connecting link between education and
character.
In the larger cities the Gideons
maintain active organizations to serve
the needs in the surrounding territories.
The public is cordially invited to
attend any of the Sunday Services announced to learn how the organization functions and endeavors to supply the various Bible requirements.
A full program climaxing the Sunday services will be held in the Zion
Reformed church in North Canton
Sunday Evening, April 30, 1939. At
that time Bibles presented to Plain
township including North Canton
schools will be dedicated. The program for the township is as follows:
Warstler Lutheran Church—Middle-
branch, Ohio—Rev. C. L. Warstler,
10:30 a. m., C. L. Domer; Werner U.
B, Church—Middlebranch, Ohio—Rev.

thorne; Cairo Reformed Church-

Acme Celebrates
48th Anniversary
Largest Retail Food Taxpayer
in Summit County
The Acme store, under the management of James Archer, is celebrating
the forty-eighth anniversary of the
founding of the Acme stores.
The first store in this organization
was founded in Akron. Through honest dealing and intensive merchandising, the company gradually expanded
until today Acme stores are to be
found in all of the surrounding communities. ,
Acme stores is purely a local organization. The stock is owned by employees, executives and customers.
Recently, these stores have gained
national recognition with their cooperation with growers and producers of
agricultural products. Acme stores,
whenever possible, purchase direct
from the local farmer and poultry
man. They also have cooperated in
eliminating the surplus of oranges,
grapefruit, apples, dairy products,
eggs and California peaches.
'We never want to grow so large
that we cannot keep in close touch
with the communities in which we
operate," said H. J. Albrecht, president and I. W. Albrecht, vice presi
dent, of the Acme stores.
"I certainly enjoy visiting our store
in North Canton," says Fred C. Pockrandt, secretary. "There is a certain
neighborliness in North Canton which
is entirely non-existent in larger
cities. This enables us to better serve
the housewives in North Canton."
Acme stores have always 4S'sumed
their share of civic responsibilities in
every county in which they .have
stores. They are the largest retail
food taxpayer in Summit county; and
in our own county they pay a considerable sum.
